We have a log only data structure… everything is appended and nothing is ever updated.
We should be totally fine with having lots of SSTables sitting on disk because even if we did a major compaction the data would still look the same. By 'lots' I mean maybe 1000 max. Maybe 1GB each. However, I would like a way to delete older data. One way to solve this could be to just drop an entire SSTable if all the records inside have tombstones. Is this possible, to just drop a specific SSTable? -- Founder/CEO Spinn3r.com Location: *San Francisco, CA* Skype: *burtonator* blog: http://burtonator.wordpress.com … or check out my Google+ profile<https://plus.google.com/102718274791889610666/posts> <http://spinn3r.com> War is peace.
